Lila Nelson
Lila Nelson has been composing songs since her single digits. The daughter of a modern dancer and a blues harp player, and granddaughter of the regionalist era painter/lithographer John S. de Martelly, it is no wonder that Lila looks at life through a lyrical lens.
At three, she drew an imaginary line down her middle, head to toe, and insisted, "I know where half of infinity is... right here." Later on, washing dishes to the likes of Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, Nina Simone, Nick Drake, Stevie Wonder, and the Beatles - practicing harmonies with sisters on walks in the Santa Margarita River Valley and writing lyrics for her brother's early three chord ventures on the guitar helped set the stage for a career as a prolific singer/songwriter.
Playing venues all accross the country; the "Freight and Salvage" in Berkeley, CA to "The Livingroom" in New York City; 2005's AMA Conference in Nashville, TN to "The Tractor Tavern" in Seatle, WA.; "The Pine Mountain Music Festival" in Southern CA to "The Main St. Cafe", in Southern FL... When Lila's not touring alone she can be heard singing alongside the LA troubador, Brian Joseph, Kenny Edwards (Linda Ronstadt, Don Henley) and Nashville's Amelia White (Funazalo Records).
A graduate of HSU, Lila participated in many theatre productions as a student and since. She wrote the music set to lyrics by Bertolt Brecht for the HSU production of "Mother Courage and Her Children" last year.
Lila's song "Fresh Paint" is featured on Neil Young's web site, Living With War. Check out Lila's web site and be sure to pick up her new EP, "High Gloss, Low Sheen"before it's gone.
